Description

THE MALAYSIA-INDONESIA DISPUTE STILL REMAINS UNSETTLED AND JUNGLE WARFARE BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES CONTINUES ALONG THE 900-MILE BORNEO BORDER. BRITISH TROOPS, BROUGHT IN BY INDONESIA'S MILITARY BUILD-UP, NOW WAIT IN A STATE OF PREPAREDNESS.

THIS AIRDROP WAS CARRIED OUT FROM A HEIGHT OF 400 FEET. THE OUTPOSTS ARE ONLY ABOUT A MILE FROM THE INDONESIAN BORDER, SO ACCURACY IS THE KEYNOTE ... THE LOCATION OF THIS AIRDROP WAS WITHHELD FOR SECURITY REASONS.

TROOP-CARRYING HELICOPTERS ALSO SHUTTLE BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE OUTPOSTS WITH FRESH REINFORCEMENTS.
